For those who want to rewrite history or just make it the same, now you have a chance. EA is offering a Fight Night Round 4 demo today for those who preordered via GameStop. For Xbox Live Gold members, it will be available May 28 and PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Silver members on June 4.

Anyway, the demo is a three-round rematch between Pacquiao and Hatton. Look at it this way, at least this boxing demo will last longer than the actual fight.

I’m not sure what EA Sports’ record is for predicting outcomes, but I hope it’s super, super, super high because according to a Fight Night Round 4 sim, Manny Pacquiao is going to win a convincing knockout against Ricky Hatton in the 11th round. Here’s the details in the press release:

According to the simulation, an aggressive attempt by Hatton to limit Pacquiao’s movement early on was unsuccessful. Pacquiao’s used his speed and control of the ring to take advantage of Hatton’s aggression, picking his punches and keeping out of range. The tide turned in Hatton’s favor in Round 4 when he found some success trapping Pacquiao in the corner. With little room to work with, Pacquiao was forced to trade blows on Hatton’s terms. This relentless exchange proved to be too much for Pacquiao who went down to a powerful left hook at the end of Round 6. The later rounds saw the revival of the quick moving Pacquiao, who outpaced and out boxed Hatton yet again. Lightning fast left jabs wreaked havoc on Hatton through Rounds 7, 8 and 9 before a commanding right hand brought him to the mat in Round 10. Badly hurt and looking sluggish, Hatton was unable to beat the count after falling to another deadly right hook from Pacquiao in Round 11.

Let’s hope the real life is like the sim. Fight Night Round 4 is coming out on June 30 BTW. Can’t wait.

Your friendly neighborhood Gamester editor was out most of Saturday preparing for what ended up being a one-sided Manny Pacquiao-Oscar De La Hoya fight. Suffice to say, I was thrilled and entertained at the outcome. I’m sure Manila and the rest of the Philippines is going bonkers right now. It always seems to do when he steps into the ring.

Other than that, it’s been a so-so week. The staff members at the newspaper did manage to punch out a couple of reviews. I took a trip to the city to check out Wanted: Weapons of Fate. You can tell that the frantic holiday season is winding down because there’s less mail coming in.

So what do I do when I’m not watching the Pacquiao fight? I watch this old lady pretend to shoot a gun for an Xbox commercial. This stuff is comedy gold. Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah.

And now, here’s the best of the week.

1. We had two reviews coming late this week. Danny and his brother, Scott, teamed up for Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades for the Nintendo DS. He said the game’s good for short spurts, but if you want to play longer, you’re asking for trouble (and shooting pain up your wrist).

The ever reliable Patrick Cant took Shaun White Snowboarding out for a spin. He’s a veteran of the extreme sports games, and to him, Shaun White does a lot of things well in the snowboarding genre.

2. I followed up my review on Fallout 3 with a Post-Game Thought on the role of strategy guides. Although it seems as if the game would need it, I recommend not playing the game with a guide. It’s counterintuitive. I recommend learning about how to build your character, but the rest of it — the way to GNR, Rivet City, etc. — is best experienced on your own.

3. In the weird news of the week, we came across the super-obsessive Pikachu Girl. She says she earned some Guiness World Record distinction for being the craziest biggest fan of the bright-yellow cartoon rodent. This may be the reason other countries don’t like us.

And if you want to see your friendly neighborhood Gamester editor in a giant afro, I recommend you check this out. The fake hair keeps my shaved head warm.

4. A couple of semi-big news items came across our desk this week: Uncharted 2 was revealed. Killzone 2 got a launch date. It’s Feb. 27. And Cooking Mama fans can get their trowels ready for Gardening Mama. Yes, it’s Cooking Mama except you play in the dirt.
